NAME
devconfig - configure device attributes
SYNOPSIS
devconfig
DESCRIPTION
devconfig is an interactive editor for device driver
hardware configuration files and the OpenWindows configura-
tion file.
Devices that are not self-identifying require that correct
information be supplied in the hardware configuration file
in order for the device to be recognized. Devconfig is
designed to ease the task of maintaining correct device
information in the configuration files.
Prototype configuration information files stored in
/usr/lib/devconfig are used to check user input to ensure
that the values provided for each attribute are of the
correct type and fall within legal bounds. See
device.cfinfo(4) for a description of the format of confi-
guration information files. The location for the cfinfo
files can be set by the DEVCONFIGHOME environment vari-
able.
After making changes to a hardware configuration file that
has a driver associated with it, an attempt is made to
reload the driver to verify the attributes. Some drivers
may not be unloadable. In this case, a system reboot must be
initiated before the new attributes can take effect. If
necessary, devconfig also updates the OpenWindows configura-
tion file, OWconfig (see the OpenWindows Desktop Reference
Manual
devconfig makes a backup copy of a modified file in a .bak
file. In addition, the first version of OWconfig is saved
in OWconfig.save. This is because the original version of
OWconfig contains helpful prototype information that may be
referred to in case OWconfig needs to be edited manually.
If the default location for configuration files is not writ-
able (as is the case during installation) devconfig writes
the updated files in the same location relative to the
directory /tmp/root. No attempt is made to reload the driver
in this case.
devconfig is controlled by a simple menu system. The Up/Down
arrow keys move the cursor to different items in a menu. The
Left/Right arrow keys move the cursor to different items in
a field. The Enter key selects an item. (Note that the Enter
key may be labeled Return on some keyboards.) See the online
help for more guidance.
Operation
devconfig first displays a list of configured devices in the
system. Selecting a configured device allows you to view
its attributes or unconfigure it. Self-identifying devices
can not be unconfigured by devconfig.
When you add a new device, devconfig displays the supported
device categories. After choosing a device category,
devconfig displays the devices supported in that category.
Self-identifying devices cannot be added with devconfig and
they are not displayed in the list of the devices. After
you have selected the device to be added, devconfig
displays the list of the device attributes. Once you have
chosen the proper values for the attributes and applied them
by using the Apply button, the device is added to the list
of configured devices. You may cancel an operation by using
the Cancel button.
